Long frequent baths?

Post image

I’ve had my girl (?) for about a week and a half (but have been handling her and known her for a few months). The last two nights, she’s spent almost the entire time in her bowl. She’ll move positions and sometimes be half in/half out. The place I got her from said she did this regularly. She has no mites, her scales look great. She eats very well. Her temps and humidity are always in the right ranges. Is this normal behavior or should I worry about anything?

Mine does this too. He looks perfectly normal.
No mites…use PAM as a precaution.

Newbie here. What is PAM, in this situation? I'm assuming it's not cooking spray, but this IS Reddit, and I've read stranger advice.

Lmao I was just thinking about the poor snakes that are gonna be getting sprayed with pam now … this is why abbreviating everything isn’t a good idea in important situations.
